Carlson Scan3D
OVERVIEW
Carlson Scan3D is a fast, accurate handheld 3D scanning solution for buildings, features, objects, spaces, and more.
Utilizing a Carlson RT5 or RTk5 tablet with a RealSense™ camera or a compatible iOS® device, Scan3D offers the perfect complement to drone photogrammetry and other traditional scanning methods, providing point cloud information for those impossible-to-view spaces such as the edges of buildings and areas obscured by overhangs or trees.
Scan3D creates point clouds in common formats for surveyors, engineers, construction professionals, accident reconstruction specialists, GIS professionals, and anyone else needing instant, mobile 3D scanning.

ACCURATE HANDHELD 3D SCANNING
• Instant, mobile 3D scanning of rooms, spaces, equipment, and more
• Highly accurate point cloud data sets comparable to and compatible with larger scale 3D scanning devices (terrestrial, aerial, mobile mapping)
• Advanced targeting and optimization capabilities for highly accurate results
• All local processing! No internet connectivity or cloud computing required
CORE FEATURES
• Real-time 3D reconstruction with live quality feedback
• Local data optimization (post-processing) for highly accurate results
• Automatic AprilTag targeting for intelligent accuracy improvement
• Planarity constraints, HD photo capture, and scan-time annotation
• Optional targeting workflows to reference known measurements / coordinates
• Precise, savable measurements of distance, area, volume, and more
• Convenient 3D editing with cropping, filtering, and coordinate system management
• Direct color 3D point cloud export: DP, E57, RCS, LAS, LAZ, PTS, PTX, PLY, PTG, POD (RCS & POD Windows only)
COMPATIBLE LIDAR-CAPABLE IOS DEVICES
A LiDAR-capable iOS device is required for 3D scanning with Scan3D on iOS. This currently includes the following models:
iPad Pro 2020 (4th generation) – 11″ or 12.9″
iPad Pro 2021 (5th generation) – 11″ or 12.9″
iPad Pro 2022 (6th generation) – 11″ or 12.9″
iPhone 12 Pro
iPhone 12 Pro Max
iPhone 13 Pro
iPhone 13 Pro Max
iPhone 14 Pro
iPhone 14 Pro Max
iPhone 15 Pro
iPhone 15 Pro Max
NOTES:
1. External 3D cameras (i.e. RealSense, DPI) ARE NOT supported on iOS. The iOS platform only supports use of the built-in LiDAR camera.
2. Scan3D may be installed on other iOS models (without LiDAR) for data viewing/editing purposes, but 3D scanning will not be supported.
